Wildest Dream (Book 1 in the Teach Me Series) by RC Boldt- Review!

Wildest Dream (Book 1 in the Teach Me series) by RC Boldt

The Teach Me series starts off with the story of Raine and Mac, the most unlikely of best friends…
Taken from his parents and bounced from one foster home to the next, former Navy SEAL turned math teacher, Callum "Mac" Mackenzie had a rough childhood. The only time he's let himself get attached to anyone has been with his military "brothers". He's convinced he doesn't know how to love and certainly doesn't "do" relationships. He's spent fourteen years in the Navy and now he gets to live out his other dream: teaching.
Her thirtieth birthday fast approaching, science teacher, Raine Thompson feels as if her time to find "the one" is running out. She knows life is short, especially after dealing with breast cancer two years ago, and wants to experience her own happily ever after. But is it in the cards for her?

Finally acting on the simmering attraction they have long ignored, Raine and Mac decide to have a fling and they discover what it's like to have someone who knows you inside out also be the one who makes your body come alive.
But it was only temporary…

My Review

Raine is a teacher who has not had good luck dating, but would love to be in a relationship. Callum Mackenzie (Mac) came back from serving in Afghanistan and is now teaching like he has always wanted. Raine and Mac are close friends, and while both would like to be more, they have been warned not to date one another. The sexual tension begins to be overwhelming, but Raine is scared about ruining their close friendship and Mac is concerned that his past has left him unable to be in a serious relationship.

This book was a quick read, mostly because I read it straight through once I started. There is a lot of predictability here, but I enjoyed the characters and the dynamic of their friendship. Raine was easy to care about since she is fun, smart, and kind. Mac is pretty swell too. He's been through a lot, but it is clear that he is a great friend, and sexy to boot! I was most definitely hoping that Raine and Mac would figure things out and give each other the happiness they deserved. Their chemistry is pretty intense, and I really enjoyed this friends-to-lovers story. I will gladly read more by this author in the future.

About RC Boldt

RC Boldt is the wife of Mr. Boldt, a retired Navy Chief, mother of Little Miss Boldt, and former teacher of many students. She currently lives on the coast of North Carolina but dreams of relocating to a tropical island. When she's not writing, she can be found daydreaming of relocating to a tropical island, at the beach, going running with her family (and contemplating *gently* tossing her daughter out of the jogging stroller to reduce weight resistance), singing karaoke, harassing her husband or relaxing with a good book. And, let's be honest. Most of those activities listed probably include wine or a good microbrew. Except for the running. In that case, the drinks come afterward. :)
